Butterfly Effect Counseling, LLC

Nobody can do it for you. You have to choose to use your own wings. A butterfly can't see their wings much like we sometimes can't see our own potential. It takes courage to leap out on FAITH. I did and I have fewer complaints, less stress, and more peace in my spirit. Embrace change because it is inevitable and will happen whether you want it to or not.

Share one way you leaped out on Faith.

There will be no one in the world that cares as much about the life you live, the work you create, the dreams you chase, then you, my friend. So you might as well go live the life you dream of, create things you love, work on things you are passionate about, and push past what others might think is even possible.

Today, I'm taking a moment to reflect on this journey of becoming a black-owned private counseling practice in Dallas-Ft. Worth, and how incredibly thankful I am to spend my days nurturing and empowering clients to become a better version of themselves in session. It took courage to pursue my dreams and make them a reality in a field where there were few black women.

I did it anyway, and maybe, just maybe, I am inspiring other people in this beautiful world to pursue their dreams too.

When I'm not in the office seeing clients, you'll find me being an aunt. Balancing between being a counselor and an aunt is no easy task, but it's what makes this journey even more fun. Somehow, although it always feels like a balancing act, they someone complement each other in the most beautiful way, and I truly believe that it's made me a better counselor because I'm also an amazing aunt.⚖💖

It's taught me to be understanding,flexible, and most importantly it's made my love for counseling that much stronger because I know the importance of showing up in the moment for clients in sessions.😊

By no means am I saying that you don't B U T if you only find yourself doing it when you bathe. That means you are doing it all wrong. 🤦🏾‍♀️

I know you strive to be DOPE online but what about being DOPE offline without filters.👑
.
Rituals help you to set your intentions for the day.
.
So, I challenge you to slow down and create a skincare cleaning ritual that allows you to utilize products that work specifically for your skin type. In addition, this helps with healthier self-care.
.⁣
Just like in therapy we practice utilizing techniques that are tailored to meet your individual needs.
.
Tailor your skincare ritual to help balance your self-care needs. I utilize the skincare brand Specific Beauty and get monthly facials.💆🏾‍♀️

🌟What do you use for skincare?🌟

Leaving it all on the bike for me means...

30 minutes of straight intense cardio while rocking out to the jamz of Missy Elliot. These jamz take me back to the 90's where there was less pressure to perform and more room to explore my emotions freely.

Emotional release is one of the S I X fundamental ways of coping with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and/or grief.
.
Releasing emotion can also look like:
🌟watching a funny movie🎞
🌟screaming at the top of your lungs😱
🌟dancing to the rhythm of your own beat 🎶

How do you release emotions?

Take action: leave a 🔥 if you agree.
.
Often times we are the ones holding ourselves back. 🤔⛓
.
I get it, you are use to failing or have the belief that it is a generational curse.

🛑S T O P, and take a breath. Change occurs the moment you decide to think about things differently.

Please share this post in hopes that it would be helpful to someone else.😉

What if I told you that you had SUPERPOWERS.⚡
.
Yes, its true. Everything you think and believe about yourself impacts your mental health.

🤔Think about it; when you feel crappy, look a mess, and haven't completed anything on your to-do list you feel unworthy.

What would you add to the list?⬇️

Imagine that we lived in a world where we were just as obsessed with the things that we loved about ourselves as we are about things trending on social media.

I want you to take out a pen, grab a piece of paper, and jot down a few things that you love about yourself.✍🏾

There is power in words, so own what you believe about you and watch your CONFIDENCE soar.🥰

FREEDOM is the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint. Choosing to open up a BLACK OWNED mental health private practice was my way to service my community without restraints. The environment allows for clients to speak freely about trauma, inequality, the black experience in the workplace, and to heal from whatever negatively has impacted their lives. While our practice is all-inclusive we do honor our heritage and support amplifying our black voices.

With all the emotions you encounter in life 'practice the pause.' When anxious, pause. When angry, pause. When disheartened, pause. When fearful, pause. When frustrated, pause. When grieving, pause. When lonely, pause. When misunderstood, pause. When nervous, pause. When overwhelmed, pause. When in pain, pause. When sad, pause. When stressed, pause. During your pause, pray.

God doesn't give you the people you want, he gives you the people you need. To help you, hurt you, to leave you, to love you, and to make you the person you were meant to be ~ Unknown

Challenge accepted Who else is about that life?

As a young lady, my mom always said if you look good you feel good. Even if you have no place to go get up and get dressed. You will be surprised how it shifts your mood. If you haven't showered or put on clothes while being quarantined I encourage you to try and message me how you felt that day compared to previous days.

Progress is impossible without change. What changes have you noticed? Have you changed your thought processes? Have you changed some behavioral patterns? Have you thought to celebrate your small victories? *

Butterfly Effect Counseling has transitioned to our video office using Simple Practice which is a safe and HIPAA compliant platform. We want you to know that we value your business and want to continue providing support to you during these uncertain times. Depression and anxiety are on the rise with having to be isolated. Just know, you don't have to be in this alone. Even if you've failed to shower today or still in your pjs we can chat and help you through these negative emotions. Just remember, not to take bathroom breaks during session.🤪

Anxiety can be overwhelming when you don't understand what's happening to you. Your thoughts tend to mimic the movement of a merry-go-round. Instead of allowing them to keep circling, try focusing on what thought and unpack how that makes you feel and think. If though anxiety feels strange you can learn coping skills to manage your thoughts.
